LOCATION AND HISTORY 



Location — The State Agricultural College is located at Fort Collins, 
Colorado, the county seat of Larimer County, which is one of the most pros- 
perous agricultural counties in the State. The town contains 5,000 inhabi- 
tants, and is beautifully situated about five miles from the foothills, and in 
full view of Long's Peak and many miles of the Snowy Eange. 

It is free from saloons and other temptations to an idle and vicious life. 
It is loyal to the College and its homos are open to the student stranger within 
its gates. 

History — The origin of The State Agricultural College of Colorado, like 
that of its sister institutions in other States, dates back to an act of Congress, 
passed July 2, 1862. Therein it is proposed to endow in the several States and 
Territories, by grants of public lands, "a college where the leading object shall 
be, without escluding other scientific and classical studies, and including mili- 
tary tactics, to teach such branches of learning as are related to agriculture 
and the mechanic arts, in such manner as the legislatures of the States may 
respectively prescribe, in order to promote the liberal and practical ediication 
of the industrial classes in the several pursuits and professions of life." 

This act gave the College an endowment of 90,000 acres of land. 




FROM SCOTLAND

LOCATION AND HISTORY— Continued 

In 1872 several enterprising and generous gentlemen gave to tlie State 
two hundred and forty acres of arable land, which comprises the present 
college plant. 

When the State Constitution was adopted, the College, under a provision 
thereof, became an institution of the State of Colorado. Its location at Fort 
Collins was confirmed and its management passed into the control of the State, 
"under such laws and regulations as the General Assembly shall provide." 

The first class was graduated in 1884. The total number of graduates is 
a? follows: Regular, 189; commercial, 50; total, 239. 

The work of the College is carried on in strict conformity with a section 
of the General Laws of the State, which reads as follows: 

"The design of the institution is to afford thorough instruction in agri- 
culture and the natural sciences connected therewith. To effect that object 
most completely, the institution shall combine physical with intellectual edu- 
cation, and shall be a high seminary of learning, in which the graduates of the 
common school, of both sexes, can commence, pursue, and finish a course, ter- 
minating in thoa'ough theoretical and practical instruction in those sciences 
and arts which bear directly upon agriculture and kindred industrial pursuits."

LITERARY SOCIETIES 



The literary societies of the C. A. C. are virile. They teach self-control, 
deeper thinking, extempore address, debate, criticism, book reviewing and 
social intercourse. 

It may be somewhat old-fashioned, bnt the opinion that the literary so- 
cieties of a college are a fairly accurate thermometer marking its intellectual 
temperature is not all wrong. 

Through them the student learns to concrete and give expression to the 
philosoph}', history and demonstration which have come to him in the class- 
room. 

Moreover, it fits him for his place later among men in the Grange, insti- 
tute, lyceum, social circle, and on the political platform. 



17 



T. M. C. A. AND r. W. C. A. 

These have high standing from the fact that without being sectarian 
they afEord tha student an opportunity to develop the religions side of liis 
nature in a practical and sensible way. 

These associations receive the new students, locate them in comfortable 
homes, and assist them in registration. 

Also, by receptions and sociables, they greatly help to make the zest and 
the esprit de corps of college life. 

In a quiet way, they seek, also, to deepen the student's natural reverence 
for spiritual truth. 

Eeligion is coming more and more to^mean "a right way to do things."

EVENING 



ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION 

It is important that young people who have led a more or less busy life 
should not be permitted to enter upon a four-years' college course which shall 
demand of them close application within doors without having provided for 
them such physical recreation as will counteract the heavy draft upon their 
nervous energy. 

Regular and systematic physical exercise is necessary to insure a success- 
ful college career. 

Proper heart action, the natural assimilation of food, and a gradual 
chest expansion are among the results of well-conducted college athletics. 

It is the purpose of the Faculty to restrain athletics within sensible 
bounds by encouraging rational contests. Sympathetic government is needed 
here more than in any other phase of college life. 

The Association is composed of students and members of the Faculty. 
The Board of Directors must contain at least two members of the Faculty. 

A new gymnasium will be ready September, 1903. 



19 



C. A. C. ORATORICAL ASSOCIATION 

Noblest among the arts is oratory. It is coming to a splendid revival in 
the discussions of the great problems now confronting the nation. 

Nothing in college life arouses more interest than a contest between those 
who possess the gift of oratory. Nowhere may it reach a higher development 
than among those whose ancestors have been hardy, and whose early life has 
not been a stranger to the fields and woods and robust health. 

It is expected that during the coming year a gentleman of recognized 
ability will have charge of those desiring to-.study oratorj^, and will give special 
training to those who enter the contests. 

The Association was organized in 1892. Its object is to encourage the 
practice and study of oratory in the College. Students registered in any of 
the four higher classes may be admitted to membership by vote of the Associa- 
tion. - 

The Association holds two contests each year — one for the members of 
the Sophomore and Freshman classes ; the other for the members of the Senior 
and Junior classes.

FOOT BALL TEAM 



AGRICULTURAL CLUB 



This is an organization of young men who believe that fanning is both 
a science and an art. 

That it is the noblest among all the vocations of man. 

They are banded together for the promotion of the Agricultural Depart- 
ment of the College, first of all; then, for mutual improvement in every way 
that befits the calling to which they are devoted. 

The home life, the literary life, and the social life of the farm engage 
their attention. They also specialize upon such phases of agriculture and 
kindred sciences as require original investigation and research by means of 
treatises and bulletins. 

Meetings are held every two weeks for the discussion of agricultural sub- 
jects and scientific problems of the day. Papers presented by members of the 
Club are followed by a general discussion. 




TEST FOR TUBERCULOSIS 



FARMERS' INSTITUTES 



The Agricultural College is not merely for the education of young men 
and women in the practical sciences, but it is designed to bring the latest and 
best information relative to agriculture to those who need and desire it, in 
the most direct way possible. 

To this end Farmers' Institutes have been found the most available means. 

During the winter months members of the Faculty will meet the agri- 
culturists of the various sections of the State in convention and confer with 
them as to the best methods for the development of Colorado along these 
important lines. Thus, the results of experimentation in every kind of soil 
product are brought immediately to those most interested in them. Also, the 
various foes of fruits and growing crops and the means for their removal are 
set forth in short, helpful taUcs, popularizing the most scientific research, and, 
in general, reducing scientific investigations to terms of utility. 




FORGE ROOM 



FARMERS' INSTITUTES— Continued 

Institutes were held during the last season at Grand Junction, Glen- 
wood Springs, La Junta, Eocky Ford, Las Animas, Lamar, Longmont, Love- 
land, CherreljTi and otlier points. 

The Secretary of the Board, Hon. A. M. Hawley, solicits early corre- 
spondence with reference to subjects and speakers for the coming year, as well 
as to the organization of new institutes. 

The College also holds itself in readiness at all times for co-operation with 
the Granges of the State. In fact, it is the servant of the people, and has no 
other reason for existence than to serve the interests of the State and general 
government.

DISCIPLINE 

Nowhere in the West may be found better order and more contentment 
than among the students of C. A. C. 

There is a mutualism between Faculty and students that not only insures 
freedom without familiarity, but the highest quality of classroom work. 

There is no long list of rules to be evaded. Good behavior comes from 
within, not from without. "Justice" is the general rule. 

The government is inspirational. 

The consequent discipline quiet, but effectual. 

Conscience makes stronger restraint than law. 

The fact that Fort Collins is free from saloons and their accompanying 
vices reduces temptation to a minimum. An additional safeguard is the "open 
home" policy of the good people of Fort Collins. 

In the matter of freely granting social intercourse to the students who 
come from abroad the city has always had at heart the welfare of the young 
men and young women who, for a time, are committed to the oversight of 
THE STATE AGEICULTUEAL COLLEGE.

AGRICULTURE 

The course of instruction is designed to educate students for agricultural 
pursuits and scientific investigations. Some of the subjects taught are farm 
buildings and roads, stock breeding, dairying, nature of soils, practical irriga- 
tion, care of live stock, and the fertilization and cultivation of crops. The 
whole course is illustrated by the experimental work always in progress, and 
is supplemented by daily practical work on the farm and in the laboratory. 

The College Farm is not only experimental but model. The best scien- 
tific and practical farming is exploited. The students themselves aid in the 
work, superintended by the most skillful agriculturists. 



28 



BOTANY AND HORTICULTURE 

Botany — strvictural and systematic — is tanglit from text-books and by 
lectures. A great variety of plants is at hand. In physiological botany the 
students use compound microscopes and have laboratory practice two hours 
daily. An herbarium of native and foreign plants and the greenhouses furnish 
material for study. Instruction in horticulture is given, principally, by means 
of lectures. Some of the subjects considered are vegetable gardening, methods 
of plant propagation, forestry, pomology, floriculture and landscape gardening. 




WAITING 



CIFIL AND IRRIGATION ENGINEERING 

The subjects taught are irrigation engineering, the materials of engineer- 
ing, surveying, construction of dams and reservoirs, agricultural hydraulics, 
trusses and bridges, meterology, and physics. 

The department has fine physical and hydraulic laboratories, a draughting 
room, a good supply of standard engineering instruments, testing machines, 
and a complete set of meteorological instruments.

COLLEGE RESERVOIR 



MECHANICAL ENGINEERING 

The studies and practice of this department prepare students for the 
profession of the mechanical engineer. The instruction, theoretical and prac- 
tical, covers a wide field. The special studies of this course are as follows : 
Drawing; carpentry and joinery, also wood- working machinery; pattern mak- 
ing and foundry work; forge work; machine and vise work in metals; prin- 
ciples of mechanism; strength of materials; boilers; the steam engine; and 
machine design, machinery and mill work. 



30 




A CAMPUS CURVE 



MATHEMATICS 

The course is comprehensive and thorough, especially for the engineering 
students. The following subjects receive careful attention: Algebra, geome- 
try, trigonometry, descriptive geometry, analytic geometry, and calculus. Other 
branches of mathematical science are taught in the department in which their 
knowledge has a special application.

A SCRIMMAGE 



CHEMISTRY AND GEOLOGY 

Students acquire a thorousjh mastery of the elementary principles of 
chemical science. They have two hours practice daily in the laboratory. 

Keeping in mind the object for which the College is founded, we have 
so planned crar chemical course as to prepare the student for the general appli- 
cation of chemistry to the industrial arts, while seeking thoroughly to ground 
him in the application of science to agriculture. A chemical laboratory fitted 
up with modern appliances, balance-room, foul gas room, and desks fox thirty- 
six students, is ready for the classes. 

Geolog}' receives the attention which its importance as one of the founda- 
tions of agricultural science demands. 



32 



ZOOLOGY AND ENTOMOLOGY 

Two terms are given to physiology. The laboratory is well equipped, 
possessing, among other things, a line series of mounted skeletons; an expen- 
sive manikin; large models of the eye, brain and ear; and compound and 
dissecting microscopes; microtomes, and dissecting instruments. Students 
in zoology are furnished with all necessary equipment for laboratory work. 
Particular attention is given to the economic features of entomology. Stu- 
dents prepare the principal insecticide substances and apply them for the 
destruction of insects.

HISTORY AND LITERATURE 

A well-rounded education includes a somewhat thorough knowledge of 
history and English literature. These subjects are studied throughout the 
entire course. The development of a literary taste is the aim of this work. 
The study of the philosophy of history includes such subjects as historical 
investigation ; laws governing human actions ; reciprocal influences of religion, 
literature and government; comparisons and criticisms of past civilizations; 
and the elements found in our present civilization. 

The College Ijibrary is an important factor. Its shelves are well filled 
with standard literature, and with works of special interest and assistance to 
the student of history.

The ability to write a clear and an elegant English sentence is an ac- 
complishment much to be desired; and it is a recognized fact that English 
forms an important branch in all well-rounded courses of study. 

Composition writing and the preparation of orations form an important 
feature of the work in English.

PHILOSOPHY 

The courses in Psychology, Logic and Ethics bring to the student the 
latest findings in these great subjects. 

There is not only a thorough technical study required, but above every- 
thing else the teaching is of such quality as produces good citizenship. It is 
as important to know the mind itself as to know discovered truths in order to 
arrive at noble living. 

Not only mental processes but ethical are set forth. 

The way to arrive at a given human condition is as important as to know 
the condition itself.

Special provision has l^een made for yoiing ladies, not only by the "Ladies' 
Course," which includes the best modern methods of cooking, sewing and 
general house care, but by the loyal support given to co-education by the 
Board and Faculty. 

The four years' course has for its object the typical, educated, Colorado 
woman, ready for the world's work, side by side with her brother, and, later, 
to become a veritable "helpmeet" to her husband. She will solve with him the 
problems of civilization.

While sociology is a new science and as yet somewhat speculative, it 
offers a body of fact and philosophy sufficient to shape the opinions and the 
life of college students. The aim in this is to discover those human relation- 
ships which make for happiness; also, to develop in the student his highest 
human value as a member of society, in the belief that stronger units make 
stronger compounds. 

Much reading is required in this work, chiefly of current literature. The 
progress of modern thought is closely watched.

VETERINARY SCIENCE 

A long cherished plan of the State Board of Agriculture has been realized 
at last in the establishment of a full course of Veterinary Science and Surgery. 
The work will begin in the Sophomore year of the regular course. Thorough 
and systematic instruction will be given in anatomy, bacteriology, materia 
medica, principles and practice, and therapeutics. Afternoon work will be 
devoted to clinics in the laboratory. 

The aim of the course is to prevent animal disease, losses from which 
are increasing annually. The relation of animal disease to the human body 
will be not only a matter of research, but will result in the publication of 
invaluable bulletins.

ARCHITECTURE 

The State Agricultural College has the lionor to have initiated this de- 
partment in Western schools. A four years' course is offered, cowering both 
the art and practical side of designing and construction. 

Any one who may have completed this course will not go into his profes- 
sion as a bungler. ISTot only will buildings be safer, but nioxe beautiful. In 
addition to the regular course of studies lectures will be given by eminent 
architects of Denver and elsewhere. 




NEW HORSE BARN 



ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING 



The Board has not been able to longer resist the demands made upon 
it by patrons and students for a course in Electrical Science. It is not 
only included in the list of subjects permissible under the Morrill Act, but is 
so related to all industrial life that all skilled workmen should know something 
of it. An electrical building is in progress of erection. By September 1, 1903, 
this department will be ready for service.

COMMERCIAL COURSE 



This course covers a period of two j'ears. Its wotIv is not designed to be 
a short cut to the business world, but to afford a thorough and practical train- 
ing for some form of commercial life and, with this special training, to give 
some general culture. Some of the subjects taught are spelling, penmanship, 
commercial arithmetic, commercial correspondence, typewriting, stenography, 
bookkeeping, commercial law, international law, business practice and bank- 
ing, elementary algebra, plane geometry, civil governnrent, political economy.

MAIN BUILDING 



MILITARY DEPARTMENT 

That military training and military instruction are essential elements 
in an education is a recognized fact. At the beginning of the Civil War the 
schools and colleges were few where this branch received any attention. In 
consequence, men who were capable drill masters and fitted for subordinate 
office in the army were very few. 

It was in the following year, 1862, that Congress made provision to cor- 
rect this state of ailairs. The "College Land Grant Act" was passed. This 
was the beffinning of what are now known as Agricultural and Mechanical

Colleges. In colleges established under this act military instruction is made 
of fundamental importance. It is compulsory on all male students of the 
Agricultural College of Colorado. 

As a result of this work large numbers of young men are subjected to 
military discipline at the time in their lives when it has the best effect. Men 
who complete the four years' course should be able, if occasion demand, to 
raise and fit for service an infantry company ot battalion. Excellent results 
have already been made manifest in the quick conversion of citizens into disci- 
plined soldiers, as was the case in the late war. It was, doubtless, the infusion 
of trained men from college battalions that made this remarkable change 
possible. 

Even the young man who has no ambition to be a soldier or to loiow a 
soldier's duties is given the physical exercise which produces the elastic step, 
aids development, and gives easy control of the bodj^ Furthermore, the 
cadenced step of marching troops, the display of the national flag, the blare 
of trumpet and the beat of drum will stir in the dullest heart emotions of 
highest patriotism.

FLAG RAISING 



THE POLITICAL SCIENCES 

Especial attention is given to the study of the political sciences — the Con- 
stitution of the United States and its historj^, political economy, irrigation 
law, international law. These topics are preceded by a thorough course in 
history. Text-books are supplemented by lectures which bring the applica- 
tions of recognized principles in economics and in jurisprudence down to the 
events of the present time, so as to better illustrate the same, and impress the 
duties of good citizenship upon the mind of the student. The work of no

State educational institution, no matter what its sjDecial function may be, can 
be considered as satisfactory unless its graduates shall be thoroughly in- 
structed in the principles of free republican government, the necessity of main- 
taining the absolute purity of the elective franchise, and the rights and duties 
of citizenship. Popular government rests on the intelligence and integrity 
of the people, and this idea is kept prominentl}^ in view by the State Agri- 
cultural Colletre.

FOUNDRY 

Over one hundred towns and cities of Colorado are represented in the 
student body. 

Student labor is placed on a rational basis. Those work who need help. 
The work is well done. 

There are no matriculation fees nor tuition charges. 

The college is absolutely free to all who enter.

The ladies are drilled by a competent woman in Phj'sical Culture. To 
many this is as valuable as mental training. Health, grace and strength fol- 
low. Brain work is keener, emotions subjected to the will. 




IRRIGATING THE CAMPUS 
49 



^ 



THE PROPOSED IRRIGATION BUILDING 

In no State is irrigation so important as in Colorado. Sevent\'-five per 
cent, of the State's values depend upon it. In no irrigation State is the educa- 
tional equipment for teaching irrigation so inadequate. Professor L. G. 
Carpenter is, without question, the greatest instructor in the science of irriga- 
tion in America. With such a teacher, with hundreds of students, with so 
great needs as are now upon the State, it would be disgraceful to longer 
handicap the work. 

The double cut at the front of this book shows the proposed building 
for Civil and Irrigation Engineering. The building will cost about $60,000. 
It will cost not less than $30,000 more to equip it. 

Mr. Carpenter's woxk for Colorado has been, and is, worth all the entire 
institution has cost the State, hampered though he has been by lack of 
equipment.
